School

WHY AM I ALREADY THINKING ABOUT SCHOOL?!

For me deciding what College to attend was not easy.. I have thought since last July that where I was "supposed" to be was at Brigham Young University in Provo. Well.. Obviously that is not where I am.
For those who don't know I applied to BYU in late November early December. BYU takes A LONG TIME to get back with admissions decisions. While waiting I auditioned for the MDT program, which is one of the best Music Dance Theatre Degrees out there. Call backs were rough and needless to say I did NOT make it. STRIKE ONE. Only a short while after that I got the "official admissions decision for Fall semester."
"Denied" is what the link told me. STRIKE TWO.
Man was I on a roll for getting denied to the one place I wanted to be the most.
So I wasn't completely stupid and I continued to apply for scholarships and audition for other Musical Theatre programs in the state and a couple in Wyoming. This is the thing that made me so frustrated though.. I got in! I got money! And I got acknowledged.. I even got a full tuition scholarship FOR BYU! Don't ask me how THAT happens..
Well along comes Young Ambassador Auditions. The time I had been really waiting for all year long. I was not as prepared as I should have been. I did not have the audition I should have had. I did not make Young Ambassadors. STRIKE THREE!

I'm out.

Now why am I so worried about the past? Am I? I don't think that I am as worried about it as I am trying to think about my future.

The school I decided on attending was Weber State University. This school is AMAZING! In my brain I never wanted to go to Weber because around where I live Weber is just Weber... if that makes sense.. You don't appreciate it and it doesn't look as good as other schools but IN REALITY Weber State is one of the ONLY school's in the state that I am going to be in a class with less that 40 students. One of the only schools where most Professors have Doctorates. AND one of the only schools that is NATIONALLY recognized for their theatre programs and I am on a full scholarship for theatre to attend in the fall.

I think I am doing pretty good for myself. I know that one day I will be a Young Ambassador and attend BYU like I always wanted to. But right now, I am THRILLED to be with the amazing staff and students at Weber State University.

I am growing up.. I'll be moving out in less then a month now. SCARY! I will be a full time student at a UNIVERSITY in less than TWO MONTHS! SCARY!

I still have my amazing family to support and love me. So I know I will make it.
I love my mom
I love my dad
I love my grandma
I love my sisters and brother-in-law
I love my friends

I love who I am and where I am going.
Keep Moving Forward.
